Answer 5

Many believe Islamic influence spread in India mainly during the reign of the Mughal Empire, which dominated from around the 13th to 19th century. The Mughals and their religion had a significant impact on India, converting many Hindus to Muslims and building unique architecture, the most notable example being the Taj Mahal.

However, some historians also believe that although the Mughal Empire was the main source of Islam's spread through India, the Islamic religion was first introduced by Arab traders in the 7th century even before the Muslim invasions of India. Arab merchants had trade relations with India very early on, and brought ideas of their Islamic religion along with their goods.

Answer 6

The Muslims first came to India in 712 C.E. under the banner of Muhammad bin Qasim, who was a general in the army of the Umayyad Caliphate. They conquered the Sindh and Multan regions in the following year. However, as emissaries of the Umayyad Caliphate, which would fall in less than 40 years, no permanent Islamic Empire was established in India.

The next impermanent invasion was that of Mahmud of Ghazni who conquered Lahore in 1021, but he maintained his empire in Khorasan (Iran/Afghanistan).

The first Muslim King who established an Islamic State in India proper was Muhammad Ghori who conquered Dehli and Ajmair in 1193, Qannoj in 1194, Gujrat and Malwa in 1195. Bukhiar Khilji conquered Bengal in 1197-1202.

Separately and later, Babur conquered Dehli in 1526 and laid the foundation of Mughal Empire, which would last in one form or another until British colonization spelled its end.
